Question
I tend to throw the ball "across" my body, and that gives me a really weird hook to the left, and I was wondering if there was something I could do to help?
Really watch the direction of your pushaway. Make sure you set the ball in your swing directly in front of your shoulder.
Also, make sure you are not trying to over turn the ball. Trying to increase rotation can make you bring the swing in front of your body.
Good luck,
Chip
